"That one" or "no handshake". Which is more damaging to McCain?

[JBoy]

[AspenRose]

1. Both

One amplifies the other

[Tesla]

"That one " is my vote

[Demi_Babe]

2. both

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. "That one," because it was during the debate.

A lot of people probably changed the channel as soon as the debate ended.

[Curtland1015]

4. "That One"

That's going to hurt McCain.

[fishwax]

5. separately they're bad enough; together, they're

:nuke:

[Arkana]

6. Both--put together, they suggest disdain for one's opponent.

[rzemanfl]

7. "That one" by a mile. n/t

[Higher Standard]

8. Both, but...

In that many people remember most points towards the end, there will be a lot of people who will be more focused on the lack of a handshake.

[occe]

9. That one

Though theyre both bad

[blitzen]

10. Bundle 'em into one neat package!

[Rockholm]

11. That one.

[RoadRage]

12. YES. That's my answer. YES.

I can just see that ass fuck talking to someone he doesn't like... and he doesn't shake their hand. He finally gets Akmawhat's-his-name to agree to pre-conditions.. meets with him, and doesn't shake his hand. That will go over well.

13. Both are equally damaging because they both play into the "arrogant" image.

[Danger Mouse]

14. "That one"....horribly disrespectful.

[TexasObserver]

15. THAT ONE. The no hand shake at the end was less obvious and not a sound bite.

[FrenchieCat]

16. That one!

He did shake his hand at the beginning.

I just think that McCain is awkward.

[bigwillq]

17. "That One" (nt)

[RoyGBiv]

18. That One ...

Or the other one, but mostly that one.

[jjanpundt]

19. Both. Shows total contempt for Obama.

[silverojo]

20. No handshake, hands down (no pun intended)

He can squirrel out of "that one" by saying it meant "that guy".

But not shaking hands? There is NO excuse that will get him out of...ahem..."that one" (pun INTENDED). The only acceptable excuse might be two broken arms, which McCain didn't have.

He is SO screwn. :evilgrin:

[JBoy]

21. I think the "no handshake" has better long term potential.

It will be circulated for weeks on the internet.

[DevonRex]

22. That one. For sure.

[NotThisTime]

23. First no handshake, Second "That One" Thirdly - wandering the stage throughout

[CampLo]

24. they shook hand

before Brokaw told them to move out of the way so he can read the teleprompter, according to TPM anyway.

[swishyfeet]

25. I gotta say, my first impression was that Obama snubbed McPasty with the shake

I thought he feinted to Johnny and went to shake with Cindy.

Sounds like that isn't the majority opinion here tonight though...
